Title: Is the internet down in Glasgow?
Post by: redsimon on August 27, 2005, 05:44:47 PM
Surprised we haven't had all the Rangers fans on...did they lose this week? ;D


PS

Yes I know what Division Forest are in. Its the one the "old Firm" would struggle to get out of if they ever joined the Football League ;D

Tell you what, I'm gutted I didn't back Hearts in the close season like I said I would. The odds where astronomical compared to what they are now :(

hearts will never ever win that league, but you could have put a fair bit of money on them, and then laid them off and spread all the money onto the rest of the teams!

made a tidy profit!

PS i didn't even see any of the game today, i dont even know what happened???

I take it by this post that hearts won again?

but what happened with the Rangers game, i take it rangers won it????? ???

You'll find this a recurring theme during the season. It'll be the same at work tomorrow, all of a sudden no one wants to talk about football up here  ::)

Hibs stuffed Rangers 3-0, whilst Hearts won comfortably again, as they will do against their upcoming match against Rangers. And the less said about the other Glasgow team the better... although to their credit they won today

When the day wis dawning
And the hun defence was yawning
Aye we,ll take the points here
Fi the Hibs we've nothing tae fear

As the huns were laughin...
Thought they'd win the game
As McPherson's spraffin'
The huns were slapped an slainnnn___


CHORUS

We are the boys fi the Leith San Siro
We humped the huns three goals to zero
As Ivan scored the Hibs were cheerin'
And sweet revenge was served the day




There's a church bell ringing
As all the mental Hibs are singing
"Aye we canny hear ye"
"Ye only sing when you's are winnin'"

Efter one was vintage
Another two class goals
An Ian Murray's greetin'
An ECK is for the doleeeeeeeee____


We are the boys fi the Leith San Siro
We humped the huns three goals to zero
As Ivan scored the Hibs were cheerin'
And sweet revenge was served the day

Thats interesting,  I would like to hear your reasons for not supporting your national team if you are a football fan ... not being flippant, would genuinely like to know.

why do people outside the old firm always use that as an excuse?

That might be true for some old firm fans, but not me.

I also know a certain forum poster, who is a celtic fan and also a proddy! (so where does the religion come in there??

precisely.

It's all down to pretending that you are irish. And that is what Celtic fans do best. Likewise, many Rangers fans will support the crown and thus England. Unless they happen to be in the company of an Englishman that is, then it becomes okay to hate them :D

Lovely poem Henrik, at least I imagine it is. Can you translate it nto the Queen's English please so we can all enjoy it?

I note young jbsc769 has gone very quiet this week. How did his team get on?

Some very broad & inaccurate stereotyping there Mikky.

of those old firm fans in glasgow the stereotype is 95% accurate outside glasgow it is inaccurate

Fair play to the ones in Green, White and ORANGE  :-* here for not getting involved but, I feel i need to respond to this one (and naughty of you for keep danlging the carrot Ironside!).

I would say that not even 20% or Rangers fans support England. I would however say that most Rangers Fans (in fact, lets broaden this to 'British Football Fans') want the British Teams, Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England, to do well. I would also say that most fans on the other side of this arguement support ROI?

Regarding religion, yes, I am Protestant and I would guess that a large amount of Celtic fans are Catholic but, we have made no issue of this. Given a straight choice between going to Church on Sunday and going to Ibrox, I would take the latter every time. As I have said before, it is always people on the outside that bring this up. Rod, Dave, Teacake, RFC, Myself etc (sorry if I missed people out) dont make an issue of it why does everyone else. YES, I do sing the songs inside the ground (at least used to before I came out here) but I believe that adds to a great atmosphere at these matches (widely acknowledged as the best in the world). Once the match is over, no probelms at all. I would love to meet these gys and have a beer no problem. I dont have a nasty bone in my body (which I hope anyone who knows me will agree with).

Reminds me of a sign I once saw in a shop window with the opening times on......

Printed sign in black, written (by shop keeper) text in red:

OPENING HOURS

Monday       9     TO     5
Tuesday      9     TO     5
Wednesday 9     TO      5
Thursday    9      TO     5
Friday         9     TO     5
Saturday     9     TO     5
Sunday    Gone   TO   Church

Yes both statements are true.

While we're at it 95% of scousers have bubble perms, moustaches, wear shellsuits are unemployed & would steal your car stereo &/or hubcaps before you could say "arr ay calm down calm down". They also possess a good sense of humour.


OK, I made the GSOH bit up.

We often sing that as we do 'God Save the Queen' and 'Rule Britannia'. I have also heard Flower of Scotland 'jeered down' and people singing God Save the Queen over the top when away fans sing Flower of Sctland. That has nothing to do with "supporting England" though, just being proud of the Union.

Oh, by the way, Boll**s Tikay!!  ;) (Was there really any need to text me the score on Saturday???)

I live in Greece now Div so, a little difficult to make games! Will probably get over for the Inter Milan game though in early December. Hopefully we can play a little poker when I do. I manage to watch most on either a) the internet or b) at a local bar with feeds from South Africa or wherever.....

Remiind me, which one do you support - the good team or the other team? Please refer to them as the Greens or the Blues, that's how I know which is which.
